These sort of mails have been sneaking up into my list. Is there a way for you to control this spam?

That's not so easy if the message is sent from a subscribed address (as the last ones were). The spam checkers didn't qualify the message as spam, so the list software can't filter them.

We could put all messages (or alternatively all new subscribers) under moderation, but for that we would need a small team of reliable moderators to ensure quick actions on incoming messages, so communication doesn't get stalled. Are there volunteers for that?

If someone has a different idea, please let it know.
